Quick thoughts
It’s not a huge update, but the more I look at it there’s a number of things which are really nice. The theme support for backgrounds and headers is actually a big boon to developers wanting to give their clients a little more control.
I’m also really happy to see that image embeds include HTML captions, as well as the Twitter oEmbed functionality.
WordPress 3.4 is here! Update your site now to try the new theme customizer, better headers, HTML captions & more: wp.me/pZhYe-BE
